[General Questions and Answers] Zevenaar:
Thanks for the reply, but I'm not sure how this is helping me. Firstly, the thread you linked is for a Desire HD. I have a Desire Z. Secondly, here you're saying i have to flash the old rom but I can only do that after I rooted my phone, right? Which is the problem.

Also, in the thread you linked the first few steps are with Visionary+ which freezes for me after I press the Temproot now. Thats why I made this thread in the first place: how do I downgrade my firmware. Because i understood from other posts, thats how I get Visionary+ to work?
[General Questions and Answers] akhoman:
Hi there,

I'm a newbie too in rooting desire Z.

I'm just curious, how are you going with the whole rooting and installing new ROMs???

I'm stuck with downgrading too. =(

Hope you can help me.

Thanks

Next week I'll recieve my LG Optimus 7.

I'm currently using a Nexus One and i'm still very happy about it. But i'm getting sick of the laggy scrolling/sliding of Android. I just don't understand why Android isn't making things as smooth as iOS or Windows. And because I like everything smooth I looked into reviews and saw this phone several times. So I went to the store and tested this phone. It felt extremely smooth and fast. But didn't bought it because it was around €550, so I ordered it online for €370 :D and it will be unlocked out of the box.

What I wanted to ask...

Are their things that I need to know about updates, custimization,...? Any advices or something?

Thx in advance,

ZeppeMan.
[Optimus 7 General] pasp1001:
nothing especially... The 1st big update is out and will be available for all users very soon(maybe ur phone will already have it...)But i would suggest to keep ur nexus1 close if ur keen on social chatting, skype, navigation...

Optimus-7 is a marvelous piece of hardware- u made an excellent choice...

ps- yes the phone relies on zune- pc software for updates...
[Optimus 7 General] ZeppeMan:
Ok thx, I will keep and eye on that update :)

Optimus 7 will be here tuesday or wednesday :D
[Optimus 7 General] ZeppeMan:
Yesterday I received my Optimus 7!

And what must I say, it's way smoother then Android and it's fast too. Also I find that Windows is a lot easier to use then Android, not that I couldn't use my Android phone, but it was more complex. The Optimus 7 is a bit more heavy then my old Nexus One but it feels stronger too. A lot of good things to tell :p But i'm not going to tell then because most of them are allready mentioned in reviews,..

Also did the NoDo update without probs, I followed the steps in this thread and it worked perfectly.

Overall..

phone feels stronger, easier OS, not that many apps but it's still growing, sliding/scrolling is smooth as butter, fast, ...

I'm very happy with this phone :D I was happy too with my Nexus One, but didn't had the same feeling like my new Optimus 7 :D
[Optimus 7 General] kapanak:
Remember, you own one of the only two models of WP7 devices that can be "developer unlocked" without the use of any third party apps...since your phone comes with a registry editor on board. Make sure you look around this board and the Optimus 7 dev board for some more info. Welcome to the WP7 and Optimus 7 CLUB! :D

Thx!

I will take a look at it right away :D
[Optimus 7 General] doministry:
I switched to WP7 and Optimus 7 in December.

And on monday I get SE Arc. I will decide than.

I appreciate WP7 in many aspects but personally I have enough of all the platforms limitations. Really.

So maybe I will go other way around, we'll see.

Optimus 7 is decent however I am in the end a little disappointed by it's camera in low light. Honestly it doesn't do any better than SE Cedar, 2mpx feature phone, in this regard.

WP7 would be unbelievably good if the features were there.

But apparently the more important things (besides C & P) will come much much later. It's a loong wait, like half a year at least.

And some of them maybe never. I need those features and right now I have no real choice, only Android. We'll see.

I have the same bug but I can't remember if it was just since I flashed JVK or after rooting with cf-jv1 kernel or after changing framework-res.apk to the one with tv animation. I would have helped me to determine whether this is a bug of JVK kernel or caused by flashing JV1 which is not 100% compatible with new ROM.

Either there are just a few of us who have this problem and the rest has it right or nobody knows how to fix it.

I hope somebody post a solution to the constant softkeys backlight problem soon.

I already had this issue once on 2.2.1 JPY. I was when I flashed the newer version of Speedmod (I think it was K13a) in CMW. But it dissapeared right after I reflashed K13a kernel. This time reflashing JVK stock kernel didn't fix it.

I have been using 3G watchdog to see how much data I am actually using. I have a grandfathered unlimited data plan and at the end of the month (near the end) I have only used 1.5GB! I have been tethering my laptop, my Xbox 360 (netflix and Battlefield), I have also been streaming Pandora and Youtube videos. As well as downloading apps, etc.

I also have auto sync for weather, email, and facebook.

How the heck have people been using up so much data?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bleuiko:
Haha, I hear ya. I max out under 2GB each month and I have unlimited as well. I have no idea what other people are doing. Maybe they don't have internet at home. I can see myself easily using way more than that if I'm tethering at home as well.

Not buying it. You either use WiFi 28 days a month, or you only tethered for 30 seconds a day.

I tethered my laptop to watch a few videos, (under 5 minutes each, maybe 5-10 videos total, SD) instant messengers, and just general browsing, and my xbox to download some DLC. 8GB, and I was limiting myself to an hour a day on my laptop, and trying to skip days if possible. Not to mention constant app updates (per month, god, between 20-100?) this was a few months back, I have home internet now, so it's not an issue anymore. But no, I don't buy 1.5GB. Sorry.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CC Lemon:
Do most of you using massive amounts of data not have access to wifi or choose not to use it for some reason?

I think I'm able to use wifi for at least 75% of the time, so I don't really end up using much network data. I'm not even close to 1 GB with only a few days left in the billing cycle according to my account page. It definitely feels like I use at least 1-2 GB of data in a month (including wifi) so I got an app to satisfy my curiosity. Interested in seeing how much I actually use. I've only tethered a couple times since I often have access to wifi, so I'm sure that really slows my network usage.

[Nook Color General] thetakerfan:
Also having the same issue. Not sure when it started, been flashing the nightlies since the first build most nights and I didn't always have the issue, but its been going on for awhile. Haven't really cared enough to do a full wipe and reinstall since its just a nuisance (sp?) just wanted to throw my hat in the ring as another person with the issue.
[Nook Color General] JLCollier2005:
THere are other topics about this exact issue, from what i've read though it has to do with airplane mode defaulting to "on" when you start your nook. It's not set to on in the settings, but in the actual system files. There is a fix for it out there, but I don't have a link. I personally like it defaulting to off because I don't always turn my nook on to go online right away and it saves battery.
[Nook Color General] azshorty2003:
Yes. a clean install fixed this issues. I also am no longer having the issue with the wifi turning off during sleep mode.
[Nook Color General] ZapBranagann:
Great thanks for the confirmation I guess I'll bite the bullet and do a clean install.
[Nook Color General] ZapBranagann:
So I found a solution posted on the dev forums that does not require a full wipe. If you use a sqlite editor you can disable airplane mode in settings.db.

Hope that helps someone!

Summary:

I bought a Patriot 16GB LX Series Class10 MicroSD and had huge problems with it. Freezes etc.

After partitioning with FAT32 without LBA the Patriot Class10 is superfast, 14MB/s write speed under Android Froyo. LBA mode was the culprit.

I have not tested this over several days, but so far things seem to be fine.

Problem description:

Phone: Motorola Defy on Froyo Orange. Problem also exists with LG P500

The Patriot 16GB LX Series Class10 MicroSD seemed to lock up, apps were freezing. Speed tests with SD Tools from the Market also locked up.

The Patriot worked however fine when put into a card reader with a PC. Write speeds are consistently over 12MB/sec. I tested also with Check Flash, google for "chkflsh misha"

I reformatted with the official SDFormatter Tool V.2.0. from the SD Association. No go, same problem.

How to solve:

1. Remove existing partition on MicroSD and make a new partition with FAT32

without LBA

mode.

I used the Check Flash low level initialization function for partitioning, google for "chkflsh misha"

2. Format MicroSD under windows, command line with:

(DO NOT use SDFormatter from the SD Association to format as the program repartitions the MicroSD in FAT32 LBA Mode!)

With FAT32 no LBA 32k allocation size the Motorola defy blazes away with the Patriot 16GB LX. Write speeds + 14MB/s are shown by SD Tools.

Thoughts:

My humble guess is that the Motorola Defy accesses the MicroSD in non-LBA mode and that leads to problems if the partition is LBA. This is either caused by the MicroSD controller or the Defy.

I also suspect that various MicroSD problems of other phone/card combinations are caused by LBA partitions.

As far as I can see LBA is anyway superfluous as Android can only access 32GB SD Cards currently.

Cheers

Geejay
[General Accessories] zarathustrax:
Usually class 2 and 4 cards are better for use with phones and for running OS's or apps off of. Class 10 cards are designed to have fast sequential write speeds, but sacrifice their random read/write speeds and access times to achieve their fast sequential speeds. It's because they they initialize the section of the card that they are about to write to, which gives great speeds in sequential writes, but will cause delays and freezes when doing things that need quick access to different parts of the card or tasks that will read/write small bits of data from different parts of card.

Many people assume that higher class cards are better, but it really depends on what you're using the card for. For digital cameras, higher class is better, but for cell phones, where you will running apps or parts of the OS are store and accessed from the card, you want a lower class with better access times and random read/write speeds.

Different cards are better for different tasks.
[General Accessories] geejay2:
Thanks for your comments. I bought the card because it was the cheaper than Kingston, the only other alternative in that shop.

Here is an interesting article, with detailed info of what you mentioned.

Google for "Working Groups Kernel Consolidation Projects FlashCardSurvey", I cannot post links.

It seems that these Patriot cards are indeed linear write. The author mentions a superior SanDisk algorithm for access.

Interesting benchmark which seem to confirm this: google for "MicroSD card performance test results"

Looking at the table Kingston seems to be slower than Patriot.

In any case there seems to be an LBA problem with the Froyo/Patriot combo.
[General Accessories] zarathustrax:
Yeah, Kingstons are terrible for access speed and random read/write from the tests I've done. I'll never buy a kingston again. I usually stick with Sandisk... it's usually worth any extra money they cost to know you're getting a quality card. I have 8 different sandisk cards now... 2 32gb, 2 16gb, 2 8gb, 1 6gb and 1 4gb, and haven't had a problem with any of them and all except one has worked flawlessly with WP7 and all have worked great running android off of on my HD2.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sadkorean34:
I recently purchased my Nexus S.

About a week ago from Best Buy.

It was on 2.3.1, and its been a week and I haven't received OTA, yet.

I have been searching and reading regarding about OTA, and I know

it goes by the IMEI #, and we just have to wait for it.

I do know there is a manual upgrade and it's easy, but I just want to

know if this phone can receive OTA or not.

I have checked in several times and no response of OTA or any sort

of notification, yet.

When I googled regarding about this, there are several, well, more than

several people out there who are in same situation as me, (2.3.1 & no OTA),

Considering that we're on 2.3.3 already, I was expecting to receive

OTA for 2.3.2 already (at least), but now this is starting to make me worry.

Anyone else can ease my mind? ;)

Manual update will be my last solution to this problem, I just want to know

whether I will receive OTA anytime soon..
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sadkorean34:
Also, just one more question I want to add.

Even after if I manually update to 2.3.3, and in the future 2.3.4 comes out,

I will still be able to receive OTA from Google, correct?

Because when I was searching for any case of..

2.3.1 -> 2.3.2 manually, then 2.3.2 -> 2.3.3 OTA, I didn't find any case of that.

If you guys can confirm anything regarding of this matter, it'd help me to just

upgrade my firmware via manual method.
